Hi everyone,
How are you today?
I see Berthe didn't get many comments from her discussion. Since it is Breast Cancer Awareness month, I think this topic might be able to get more visibility and others will be able to benefit from the shared knowledge.
Have you received personalized support (nutrition workshops, physical therapy, wellness treatments, sexology, etc.) or social support (consultations to help you return to work, administrative issues, etc)? Who do you turn to for learning about these topics? Where did you find the most support? Are you in the position where you are able to offer these things to others?
I'll tag a few members who might have some time to share.

Take care,
Lizzi

@LizziB Hi
I have not really gotten personsal support. I think I remember my doctor offering resources or leaflets or something but I never took action. I should look into it. I would be curious if anyone else in the group has and what their experiences were. I guess I go online for most things, it seems easier. I actually hate to say it but I follow some influencers that I learn a lot from.

Remission of breast cancer is associated with the end of treatment. However, follow-up is necessary to reduce the risk of relapse and/or to treat any after-effects of treatment.
As a patient, you may wish to move on, but you may also feel alone and lost.
Personalized support is offered by the medical and paramedical staff, such as nutrition workshops, physical activity, wellness treatments, sexology, etc., as well as social support consultations to help you return to work, obtain financial support, and deal with administrative issues, among others.
Do you benefit from this type of support? What does it involve? What would you recommend to other patients in the same situation?
